Ballinasloe
Ballinasloe ()〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a town in the easternmost part of County Galway in Ireland. It is regarded as the largest town in Galway with a population of 7,674, which includes Ballinasloe Urban and Ballinasloe Rural. ==Name and history== The town developed as a crossing point on the River Suck, a tributary of the Shannon. The Irish placename – meaning the mouth of the ford of the crowds – reflects this purpose. The latter part of the name suggests the town has been a meeting place since ancient times. The patron saint of Ballinasloe is Saint Grellan, whom tradition believes built the first church in the area at Kilcloony. A local housing estate, a GAA club, the branch of Conradh na Gaeilge, and formerly a school are named after him.
